Impulsive transients are unexpected, non-power frequency state condition of power signal that is usually unidirectional in polarity whereas oscillatory transients are unexpected frequency variation in the steady state condition of the power signal and this usually exhibits both positive and negative polarity values.

It has been demonstrated to be one of the most important equipment in non stationary signal processing methods. There has been a vast research on the signi with Fractional Fourier Transform. One of the benefits for the FRFT differentiated with the FT is that the signal which is non-band limited in the fourier transform domain may be band limited in the fractional Fourier domain (FRFD). Sampling theorem is an important problem in signal processing. In the sampling mechanism, the sampling rate must fulfill the Nyquist sampling rate, otherwise the spectrum aliasing will happen and influence the performance of the signal recovery and estimation uniform sampling usually occurs in practical applications.
